A convenient and comfortable place, warm and cosy rooms. Only one problem- big hard uncomfortable pillows! A softer option would have made it perfect.

Comfortable and convenient.

We had a very large unit with two separate bedrooms and separate toilet and bathroom. There were tvs in each of the bedrooms and living room. The unit was clean and modern. There was a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Very comfortable and convenient stay.

Lovely place to stay, close to the town centre. The one bed unit we had was very good indeed - smaller bedroom in the front, walk through to a bathroom and kitchenette, then a large bedroom with dining table and chairs, armchairs, and a balcony. Everything spotlessly clean. Staff at reception very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
